Infuriated, the Japanese struck back with their sole remaining carrier, the Hiryu. Diving through intense U.S. fire, the Japanese bombers and torpedo planes, far superior to then-existing American models, slammed three bombs through the carrier Yorktown. Among the casualties was Seaman George Weise, who was blown so high that he hit the wing of a passing plane-and survived...
...pungent realism burst upon English poetry, but his worship of the sea was traditional for a maritime nation and his charming pastorals were long echoes of a yeoman past. His most famous short poem, Sea-Fever, was published with his first collection in 1902 and froze the seaman's world for ever in rolling, hypnotic meter...
...government was frankly pleased by such results from a year of freeze and squeeze. "We are back on course," Callaghan told the house. "The ship is picking up speed."

A middle-aged pastry cook from Peoria, 111., assured a quizzical prosecutor, "I've not discussed the case nor heard anything about it on the radio. I'd be fair, all right." Yet when Speck's court-appointed attorney, Gerald Getty, asked her if she thought she could honestly find Speck innocent, she shook her head and replied, "No, it was taking...
